5.0 out of 5 stars Translations Worthy of Performance!, April 13, 2000
By 
Jacalyn Royce (University of Puget Sound, Washington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Women on the Edge: Four Plays by Euripides (New Classical Canon) (Paperback)
The students in my theatre history class consistently rate this book as the best of all that we read. The translations are honest, accessible and, best of all, performable. Mary-Kay Gamel's translation of Iphigenia At Aulis is a revelation. In addition, the book's introduction and individual prefaces to the plays provide an excellent background on Athenian culture and theater in general, and on the significance of women as characters and audience in particular. I recommend Women On The Edge for classes like mine and as a scholarly work, but I also feel that anyone interested in Euripides and ancient Athens will appreciate this book.
